Bugfixing Sprints in Cyberspace?

Hi all, At last count, the Boost Trac had over 700 open tickets. I've been thinking I personally could really use an excuse to concentrate on reducing that number (especially the ones assigned to me ;->). It might be fun to try some kind of organized event along the lines that the Ubuntu people use: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay. Does something like this sound like it could work for us? [Okay, maybe we don't have "virtual hugs" and would have to substitute something.] -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

I think that this is a great idea, and would be glad to participate. [ Ok, so I've got about two tickets to my name, but still... ] Let's try to set this up for soon after BoostCon. Anyone have any specific ideas on how to make this happen? -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Which just means you'll be the one stuck with managing the event ;-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
